I just finished A Good House for Children by Kate Collins which was really creepy.

Ghost Story by Peter Straub. Nothing like the imo feeble film adaptation,it was far more complex. Scared the bejesus out of me when I first read it.

The Little Stranger by Sarah Walters. Fabulous

Also probably out of print now but Gad's Hall and The Haunting of Gad's Hall (two novellas but usually printed together) by Norah Lofts is amazing. Actually a lot of Norah Lofts' creepy books are great (as is her historical fiction)

James Herbert - Haunted.

Good old fashioned ghost story. The tension builds and builds. Chilling.
